Pre season pick the NCAA field

[joecct]

I don't think we've done this before, but with the additional AQ for the MCHA let's see how good we are in picking the NCAA field BEFORE the first practice.

(a) Pick how many bids your conference will get (Pools A + B + C)
(b) Now for the tough part -- WHO gets the bid(s).

Deadline is 00:01 on 10/15/09.

Scoring:
You get 2 points for getting the # of bids right
You get -1 point for every # of bids you're off.

You get 3 points for every school you get right.
The tiebreaker is which school gets the Pool B bid.

Thus, you think the MCHA is going to get only 1 bid and pick Adrian for the bid. If MSOE gets the only bid, you would get +2 points for getting the bid right, but 0 points for the school.

Please fill out the ballot like this, as it will make the spreadsheet a lot easier:
USCHO Name:
School you root for:
# bids for ECAC - E       school(s)
# bids for ECAC - NE      school(s)
# bids for ECAC - W       school(s)
# bids for MASCAC         school(s)
# bids for NESCAC         school(s)
# bids for SUNYAC         school(s)
# bids for MCHA           school(s)
# bids for MIAC           school(s)
# bids for NCHA           school(s)

How can Manhattanville get Pool B when you don't have them in the tournament????

Clearly he made the mistake of thinking the NCAA is capable of implementing an idea as outlandish as a balanced and symmetrical bracket.

Geez Norm

Only the MASCAC or ECAC-W can get Pool B.
